These are sensitive issues in our region: medical desertification and access to care. MPs from all walks of life have just passed the Garot bill to combat the phenomenon, but some measures are causing the anger of doctors and medical students.
Marine Lorphan showed his support for the profession on Friday, May 9, by denouncing the adoption in the National Assembly of a bill concerning medical deserts, which arouses the discontent of doctors.
A dentist was supposed to settle in Pernes, Pas-de-Calais. But in the face of the mobilization of some 40 inhabitants, the project overturned. Surprising at the hour of medical deserts.
The Garot law on medical deserts was adopted at first reading at the Assembly. But the Senate still has to break down the text. Decryption.
For the first time, a large majority was found in the Assembly to limit the installation of doctors in areas where they are quite numerous, which could at least put an end to the widening of inequalities in access to care. The Senate, in turn, must decide.
MEPs adopted on Wednesday evening at first reading a text to regulate the installation of doctors.
